With Netflix’s The Witcher garnering critical acclaim, many will likely be looking to cosplay as one of the characters from the hit show, just as was the case with the game that came before it. Luckily, as a guide, one costume designer posted images of various outfits from the show’s first season to their personal portfolio website.
Tim Aslam, costume designer on the set of The Witcher, shared a bevy of in-depth images highlighting costumes from the show. Likely to please the fans, the images display close-up looks of each character’s apparel throughout the course of the eight episode-long season.
Tim Aslam’s website that displays his work breaks costumes down by episode and includes a main gallery, images of “Dryad Armour,” and artwork that conceptualizes each character’s look throughout the show. In addition to close-ups, some images also have wide shots, showing the beautiful scenery in the background.
Pictures like those seen above are no chore to look at. The images of intricately-dressed characters against remarkable backgrounds are admirable and show the attention-to-detail paid to each character in respect for The Witcher property.
In the above scene from the show, a crowd watches on as a cursed knight declares his love for Pavetta, the daughter of Queen Calanthe who is reluctant to let her marry the cursed knight. As can be seen in the above photo, the designer has done a good job at ensuring that the cursed knight looks fairly hideous.
The rest of the photos continue to put on an impressive display of Aslam’s intricate work on the show. The Netflix original has drawn many comparisons to popular series Game of Thrones, which is immediately evident thanks to the familiar fantasy setting. However, The Witcher’s attention-to-detail also illustrates similarities to the depth at which that show was constructed.
Given the upcoming release of the second season of The Witcher, it is likely that it will continue the trend of impressive art and costume design. There is a lot that goes into planning these factors out, and hopefully it remains a well-developed element of the show.
